Had DS op 17th January 2015 but have only lost 2 kg. can anything go wrong which would cause this

I had the DS op on 23 February and to date I have lost 13 kgs from the date of the op, 15 kgs from the start of my pre op liquid diet. However, I was told not to worry to much about what the scale says. Are your clothes fitting loosely?

Not really. I have spoken to my surgeon and he has said not to worry. I'm not getting any of the side effects that I was told I would get like really smelly wind and poo. I'm really not sure what to do. Are you eating normally and were you very obese at the start

Today is really my first day of normal eating (according to the programmer set out fir me) but I have been eating normal food for about a week. After my op I was on liquids for about 10 days, then went onto pureed foods for the next 2 weeks and then onto soft foods for the following 2 weeks. I was considered morbidly obese and had a BMI of 53 which us why I went for the DS procedure. My weight loss has slowed down a but in the last 2 weeks but I have not excercised much, just mainly walking.

Hang in there it will happen, sometimes I think our fat does not want to leave us. Important to be positive and remember all your Vitamins and supplements.

Remember to get as much Protein in your diet as physically possible at this point. Stay away from real sugar. Drink plenty of Water. Don't go fat free. At your purreed stage try tuna with full fat mayo. I was a slow loser at first but I was eating enough. Now I'm 8 months out and down 100lbs.

When in doubt, get a copy of your op report. Reports of some Drs not performing Ds are being reported.
